MAN, DO I NEED SOME SUGAR!


GLAZED GOODNESS
4 1/2" x 4 1/2" pastel
8" square archival white matte, glass + gold leaf frame
SOLD - PRIVATE COLLECTOR

Life has been very hectic lately.

 I even caught myself dipping into my props
 before I had a chance to paint them - oh, oh! 

And this definitely gave me the needed rush . . . ahhhhh.

    Thanks so much Carolyn!
    Looked in the mirror and see I have frosting all over me... what's a girl to do?

    You are seriously challenging my diet. You're painting these sweets to enticing and I'm not even a big sweets person.

    Love this food series, so different from your skies. I don't eat them often, but I think they are one of the greatest of forbidden foods! Your paintings are not helping me dispute that!

    You know, Susan, I was happily avoiding donuts these days - and here you go setting off the craving! Nice work!

    Love the brushstrokes and the frosting!

    No brushstrokes Pam, it's all pastels. Unconventional where I don't blend as many others.
    I'm really not a sweet person either, but donuts are so tempting. My Mom used to make yeast donuts from scratch when I was little on rare occasions - melt in your mouth when they're warm! Pristine and never had frosting - just sweet sugar.
